Love is a funny thing. Anyone who’s ever fallen under its spell – whether reciprocal, unrequited or the classic ‘it’s complicated’ – knows the strange ways it can make you feel, and the bizarre thing it’ll make you do. No wonder, then, that romantic comedy persists as one of the most broadly appealing genres in all of film. Although frequently derided and dismissed as ‘chick flicks’, the best romcoms tap into emotional truths everyone can relate to.  But love also takes many forms. And so it goes in romcoms. Some are ridiculous farces, others  are more sophisticated, while others take a colder, cynical viewpoint – because if you’ve ever been in love, chances are you’ve also had your heart shattered. Love contains multitudes, and so do romantic comedies, and we considered it all when putting together this list of the best romcoms of all time.

Updated for 2026: Whatever you think of Netflix’s theatrical strategy, it continues to produce some of television’s most formally daring works, including Adolescence, a hard-to-watch but impossible to ignore limited series about an unimaginable crime. On the other end of the spectrum, there’s HBO’s hilariously profane The Righteous Gemstones, which stuck the landing in 2025 with its final season. In addition, we have moved Andor into the top 20 after its astounding second and final season.  Television used to be considered one of the lowest forms of entertainment. It was derided as ‘the idiot box’ and ‘the boob tube’. Edward R Murrow referred to it as ‘the opiate of the masses’, and the phrase ‘I don’t even own a TV’ was considered a major bragging right.  A lot has changed. Television is now the dominant medium in basically all of entertainment. The shift in perception is widely credited to the arrival of The Sopranos, which completely reinvented the notion of what a TV show could do. But that doesn’t mean everything that came before is primordial slurry. While this list of the greatest TV shows ever is dominated by 21st century programs, from The Wire to Succession to Adolescence, there are many shows that deserve credit for laying the groundwork for this current golden age.  Chiseling them down to a neat top 100 is difficult, so we elected to leave off talk shows, variety shows and sketch comedy, focusing on scripted, episodic dramas, comedies and miniseries. So don’t touc

Horror has become Hollywood’s most bankable genre, both artistically and at the box office. Last year proved it once again, with movies like Sinners and Weapons becoming cultural phenomenons and franchise entries such as The Conjuring: Last Rites and Final Destination Bloodlines raking in the receipts. At a glance, there doesn’t seem to be another surefire blockbuster on the 2026 slate. Sure, the Insidious juggernaut will likely roll on, there’s yet another Scream sequel incoming, and Zach Cregger is already following up Weapons with a Resident Evil reboot. But is there another wholly original story likely to (ahem) scare up audiences in droves? Hard to say. Then again, that’s the thing with horror: the movies most likely to make us scream the loudest – out of both fear and joy – are those we never see coming. We’ve done our best, however, to identify the upcoming movies all true horror-heads need to have on their watchlist. 26 massive movies you need to see in 2026.15 book-to-movie adaptations to get (very) excited about in 2026.

There’s a reason Martin Scorsese has dedicated part of his life to championing Italian movies – and it’s not just to keep his nonna happy. It’s the national cinema that gave us Fellini, Visconti, Rossellini, Pasolini, and De Sica – where one minute you can corpse to the slapstick silliness of Commedia all'Italiana capers and the next, have your heart smashed into tiny pieces by a human drama about an old man and his dog. Where dodgy politics spawns angry thrillers and seismic historical events are tackled in sweeping epics. And where Clint Eastwood chewed on a cheroot while dispatching bad guys, and Argento and Bava gave us the lurid shocks of giallo. It’s flamboyant, glamorous, jaded, shocking and sexy – sometimes all at once.  And it’s not just sexy people standing in fountains, either. Rome’s famous old Cinecittà Studios powers on, the Venice Biennale is the world’s coolest film festival (sorry, Cannes), and modern-day moviemakers like Alice Rohrwacher, Matteo Garrone, Paolo Sorrentino and Gianfranco Rosi keep offering up fresh slices of la dolce vita (or its darker sides). And with a ‘Cinema Made in Italy’ season running at London’s BFI Southbank in March and Open Roads: New Italian Cinema taking contemporary Italian work to American audiences, there’s plenty of Italian cinema to sample out there. Allow us to add 50 more to the list – the best of the lot. RECOMMENDED:📽️ The 50 best foreign-language films ever made.🇫🇷 The greatest French movies of all time.🇰🇷 The best

Television is widely thought to have entered its golden age in the early 2000s, but the road there was paved by the previous decade. In many ways, the ’90s completely changed the idea of what the medium could accomplish. It’s where Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld reinvented the sitcom. It’s where David Lynch actually got a spot in primetime. And it’s where HBO set up the revolution of the coming millennium by introducing a crime drama for the ages.  If you weren’t around back then – or ‘didn’t even own a TV’, as Gen X liked to brag – it’s a good time to catch up. The ’90s are everywhere again, in fashion, music and all over streaming platforms. Here are 37 can’t-miss suggestions, along with where to find them.

Updated for 2026: A year ago, hardly anyone would imagine a Paul Thomas Anderson movie making this list. Now, it’s undeniable: One Battle After Another is absolutely elite, exhilarating filmmaking that slams on the gas and never lets up for close to three hours. Action movies get a bad rap. Not necessarily from the general public, of course. Audiences love ’em, for the most part. But for hardcore cinephiles, action is too often regarded as cinematic junk food, replacing all story and substance with eardrum-shattering explosions and mindless violence. Sure, you can enjoy one every now and then, but a steady diet of loud noises, death-defying stunts and one-liners? That’s for the normies. Here’s the thing, though: if the main point of any film is to make you feel something, what produces more visceral feeling than a good action flick? Anyone who’s ever had their senses rattled by a truly great action movie knows that there are few moviegoing experiences that can compare. Another thing: not all action movies are loud and dumb. Some are nearly operatic in scope and balletic in their grace – and sometimes, you might even actually care about the person dodging bullets and delivering throat chops. This list of the greatest action films ever made is proof that the genre is more versatile than it appears.

After a few up and down years, 2026 is shaping up to be the Big One in terms of measuring the true health of the movie industry. This is 12 months loaded with can’t-miss hits – or rather, better-not-miss hits. That includes everything from a fifth Toy Story movie to a long-awaited Devil Wears Prada sequel, another close encounter from Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan bringing damn near every A-lister to ancient Greece. The Dune trilogy will end, while the Marvel Cinematic Universe attempts to reinvigorate itself with the biggest superhero movie since Endgame. Plus: more Frankenstein, more 28 Years Later, and more Superman (or at least, Superman’s cousin).  Like we said: it’s big. But if you don’t have much investment in the future of the Hollywood blockbuster and just want to see some good cinema, there’s plenty of small-to-medium-sized films worth getting excited about, too. Here are the 26 movies we’re anticipating the most.📕 15 book-to-movie adaptations to get excited about in 2026🔥 The 40 best movies of 2025

War is hell but it does make for some great movies. There are few real-world events that present such natural conduits for drama, suspense, horror and heroism, and filmmakers have taken advantage from nearly the beginning of cinema: Lewis Milestone’s adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front won one of the first Oscars for Best Picture, in 1930. More recently, Alex Garland plunged us into the maelstrom of Iraq with Warfare. The best war movies aren’t just historical reenactments, though. They use combat as the basis for exploring a slew of existential questions. Why do we fight? Why do people enlist? What happens afterwards? Is war ever justified? Rarely is there a clear answer, but simply broaching those subjects can produce compelling cinema. For this list, we’ve compiled films that span the historical and fictional gamut, from both world wars, to Vietnam, to the so-called ‘War on Terror’, to imaginary interplanetary conflict. It’s impossible to really convey the horror of war if you haven’t been there – done right, though, movies can provide some small window into what those who’ve fought have seen, experienced and felt. These 50 films come closest.

War has long fascinated filmmakers, no conflict more so than World War II. No wonder: the sheer scale of the destruction, the atrocities associated with it and its place in human history make it a natural framework for stories of resistance, survival and unimaginable loss. So many movies have been made about the war, it’s almost a genre unto itself.  For that reason, choosing the best World War II movies is a challenge. That’s why, along with polling our well-studied Time Out writers, we also called in an outside expert: Quentin Tarantino, a man who knows a thing or two about making a great WW2 film. Among the selections, you’ll find towering epics, intimate character studies, intense documentaries, historical revisions and even a few comedies. War is hell, and World War II was particularly hellish – but at least we have these films to help make some sense of it.

Let’s clear this up right away: no, ‘family comedy’ is not code for ‘kids movie’. At least, it doesn’t have to be. Sure, some movies described as ‘fun for the whole family’ are really just fun for the youngest ones in the household. But as these 37 films attest, it is possible for a movie to make every generation laugh in unison.  Each of the following hits just the right notes to send everyone on the couch into hysterics without making parents sweat over explaining the meaning of a few choice words, situations and possibly body parts to the littlest members of the audience. Next time the whole brood is corralled in front of the television, throw on one of these classics, and a good time is guaranteed. After all, the family that laughs together, stays together.

As a parent, navigating your kid’s tweenage years is tough. No longer a kid but not yet a tornado of hormones, it’s a short-lived but awkward time that affects just about everything, up to and including movie nights. Where you happy little butterball could once be pleased with anything loud and colourful, now they’re getting more discerning. At the same time, they’re not so desperate to prove their maturity that they’re demanding a legal thriller or a Merchant Ivory costume drama. So how do you choose the right flick to please all audiences? Don’t freak out. We’re here to help. We’ve rounded up 36 movies that almost seem laser-guided to explode the pleasure centres of anyone between the ages of ten and 12. And the good news is that much of what works for that demographic is the same stuff you loved at the age, from ’80s blockbusters to silly comedies to adventure flicks to movies about young love and the struggle of growing up. Throw one of these on and you’ll be a hero, at least for one night.   Recommended: 🎒 The 100 best teen movies of all-time👪 The 50 best family films to stream on movie night🤣 The 35 best family comedy movies

Update for 2026: Disaster movies aren’t quite as en vogue as they once were, but every once in a while, a new one comes along that deserves inclusion in the pantheon. In 2025, that was The Lost Bus, a true-life tale of survival set during California’s devastating Camp Fire of 2018. Will the upcoming Greenland 2: Migration also make the cut? Watch this space! Like the greater action genre to which they belong, disaster movies speak to something primal in all of us: the fear that our lives rest in the hands of unknown forces that care nothing about who we are or what we’ve done. For decades, filmmakers have seized upon the human anxiety that the universe could, at any moment, decide to squish us like bugs. Sometimes, the disaster itself is a backdrop to stories about human survival. Other times, wanton destruction is the whole point – and hey, there’s nothing wrong with a director flexing their effects budget, if it’s eye-popping, ear-busting and senses-overloading enough.  You’ll find both represented on this list of the greatest disaster movies ever made. In putting together this list, we left out rampaging monsters and invading aliens and kept to the more common definition of ‘disasters’ – earthquakes, asteroids, tidal waves, geostorms, etc. Here are 35 classics of the genre that register 11 on the cinematic Richter Scale.

The Smashing Machine (HBO Max) In Round 1 of the Battle of the Solo Safdie Brothers, Benny the Younger took a pretty decisive loss. While big bro Josh made a ping-pong period piece hopped up on the duo’s signature frantic energy, winning big at the box office and with Oscar voters, the other opted for a muted character study of early MMA star Mark Kerr. Hardly anyone saw it, even with Dwayne ‘the Rock’ Johnson in the lead. A bit down the line, though, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the film receive a reappraisal, with Johnson’s career-best performance as a walking colossus fighting several losing battles at once leading the way.

After a high-profile fall and early winter, with the premieres of several awards hopefuls and major events like the end of Stranger Things, Netflix appears to be going into hibernation a bit in the new year, with far less glitzy, hotly anticipated titles hitting the streamer than in the past few months. Of course, that doesn’t mean nothing is happening. There’s a new Agatha Christie mystery series, a popular romance novel adaptation, some true-crime and anime, plus Matt Damon and Ben Affleck reteaming for a crime thriller. And then there’s the big one: more Bridgerton, baby. Here’s everything else we’re looking forward to most on Netflix in January.

Os amantes de livros têm um ano muito especial pela frente, tanto nas salas de cinema como nas plataformas de streaming. Entre os gigantes da literatura cujas obras vão ser adaptadas encontram-se Emily Brontë, Margaret Atwood, Enid Blyton, Albert Camus e Don Winslow. Mas o mais excitante de tudo é talvez o regresso do grande mestre da narrativa épica: Homero vai receber o toque de Christopher Nolan, em versão IMAX, com a adaptação de A Odisseia, com estreia prevista para o Verão. BookTokers, façam uma pausa no desafio de leitura de 2026 e vão ao cinema: este é o vosso momento. O Monte dos Vendavais A adaptação literária de Emerald Fennell promete lançar um verdadeiro cocktail Molotov sobre o debate cultural do início de 2026. A tórrida história de amor de Emily Brontë vai receber uma versão bem à maneira de Fennell, com músicas de Charli XCX, um elenco de fazer correr tinta (Margot Robbie e Jacob Elordi) e até aspas provocatórias no título do cartaz, como se fosse suposto dizê-lo com ironia. O Monte dos Vendavais pode ser um marco do romantismo literário, mas está longe de ser propriamente romântico, pelo que o slogan “a maior história de amor de todos os tempos” poderá deixar os puristas algo confusos.Estreia: 12 de Fevereiro Abaixo de Zero David Koepp adaptou Parque Jurássico, de Michael Crichton, mas aqui assume o papel de autor-realizador de uma história muito ao estilo do próprio Crichton.

Book lovers have a year to savour in store for them at the movie theatre and on streaming. Among the literary giants having their work adapted are Emily Brontë, Margaret Atwood, Enid Blyton, Albert Camus and Don Winslow. Most excitingly, the big dog of epic storytelling, Homer, is getting the IMAX-enhanced Christopher Nolan treatment with this summer’s adaption of The Odyssey. BookTokers, this is your moment. Photograph: Penguin Classics Wuthering Heights Emerald Fennell’s literary adaptation is sure to lob a Molotov cocktail in the general direction of early 2026’s cultural discourse. Emily Brontë’s toxic love story is getting a proper Fennelling, with Charlie XCX songs, a buzz-worthy cast (Margot Robbie, Jacob Elordi) and provocative quote marks around the title on the poster like you’re supposed to say it in a sarcastic way. Wuthering Heights may be a landmark Romantic novel but it’s not exactly small ’r’ romantic, so that ‘the greatest love story of all time’ tagline may mystify literary types. In cinemas worldwide Feb 13 Photograph: HarperCollins Cold Storage David Koepp adapted Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park, but the writer-director has his own Crichton-esque monster tale in the shape of his 2019 novel.

Ya se siente la Navidad, sobre todo en las plataformas de streaming. Cada año, un buen puñado de películas festivas con sabor a roscón salen de la cadena de montaje directas a tu tele (y, de vez en cuando, a los cines). La mayoría son directamente malas, algunas son tan malas que resultan buenas y unas pocas son realmente buenas… o, al menos, lo bastante autoconscientes como para ofrecer una noche divertida reunidos alrededor del brillo de la pantalla.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, especially on streaming services. Every year, a stuffed stocking’s worth of peppermint-sweet holiday flicks roll off the assembly line and onto your television (and occasionally theaters). Most are straight-up bad, some are so-bad-they’re-good, and a select few are genuinely good – or at least, self-aware enough to make for a fun night gathered ‘round the glow of the TV set. Rarer still are those which become legit viral phenomenons. In 2024, that was Hot Frosty, Netflix’s winking winter romcom about a hunky snowman come to life. Are there any films from this year’s slate that might attain the same status? We’ve perused the cream of the 2025 yuletide crop, and ranked them by their chances to get as hot as Frosty.  Recommended: 🎅🏻The best Christmas movies of all-time🎄The best Christmas movies for kids to watch this year🎁The best Christmas specials of all-time Photograph: Chip Bergmann/AMAZON CONTENT SERVICES LLC Tyler Perry's Finding Joy (Prime Video) Ideal for: Tyler Perry completists Tyler Perry presents Misery as a romcom?

Halloween ne tombe qu’un jour par an, mais les plus fervents adeptes de la fête trouvent toujours le moyen d’en faire un mois entier. Et quoi de mieux pour ça que de se plonger dans des films ? Rien de plus simple, après tout : il existe tout un genre cinématographique consacré à l’art de faire hurler les spectateurs de peur. Mais contrairement à ce qu’on croit souvent, il y a une vraie différence entre les meilleurs films d’horreur et les meilleurs films d’Halloween. Un film comme Ne vous retournez pas (Don’t Look Now) figure peut-être parmi les œuvres les plus bouleversantes du genre, mais il est sans doute un peu trop cérébral pour la « saison des frissons ». En revanche, les apocalypses zombies, histoires de fantômes, massacres à la tronçonneuse et mélanges de monstres ? Là, on est pile dans le thème. Alors, pour vous aider à composer votre programme d’octobre, on a concocté cette liste de films d’Halloween à voir le 31 au soir. Suspiria (1977) Sur le papier, le conte macabre de Dario Argento ne paie pas de mine : une danseuse américaine timide intègre une mystérieuse académie de ballet en Europe, où d’étranges phénomènes ne tardent pas à se manifester. Mais ce point de départ simple permet au maître du giallo de s’en donner à cœur joie : couleurs hallucinées, mises à mort stylisées, et bande-son cauchemardesque signée par les rockeurs progressifs italiens Goblin.

Somehow haven’t gotten enough of KPop Demon Hunters? Correction: have your kids still not gotten enough?  Well, if you missed catching the animated musical sensation in theaters during its limited run in August, you’re in luck, because it’s coming back to cinemas, just in time for Halloween. Starting October 31, the movie will screen in select theaters in several countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. And yes, singing along is once again encouraged – and given the time period, so are costumes. Initially released on Netflix back in June, the film, focusing on a mega-popular girl group who are also charged with protecting humanity from soul-sucking, shapeshifting beasties, came out of nowhere to become an almost instant phenomenon. It’s now officially the most popular movie in the history of the platform, topping 325,100,000 views. Four songs from the soundtrack, including the inescapable chart-topper ‘Golden’, occupied the Billboard Top 10 simultaneously, while the vocal trio of EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, and REI AMI recently made their live debut on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Tickets for the upcoming screenings go on sale October 17 at 6 am. Find a screening nearest you here. Best to act fast: the movie will only be in theaters for three days, ending November 2. Then you’ll have to go back to singing alone in your home on an endless loop. The best family movies of 2025 (so far) The best Halloween movies for kids on Netflix

If you’re like most Taylor Swift fans, you simply cannot get enough content from your queen. Good thing, then, that she seemingly never stops cranking it out. Not only did she just release her sixth album in seven years, the record-breaking The Lift of a Showgirl – available in 27 different physical variations – it coincided with both a box-office-topping cinematic event, a two-part Channel 4 documentary and the announcement of her engagement to football player Travis Kelce, whose eventual wedding will almost certainly produce a tidal wave of content on its own. Now, the pop megastar has two more film projects guaranteed to capture untold millions of eyeballs. Not even a year after her world-dominating Eras Tour finally ended, a six-part docuseries chronicling the production of her globe-spanning, generation-defining, economy-shifting concert tour is coming to Disney+. According to a press release, The End of an Era ‘gives an intimate look at Taylor’s life as her tour made headlines and thrilled fans around the world’ and features cameos from contemporaries such as Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran and Florence Welch. (What, no Charli XCX?) The doc premieres December 12 – the day before Swift’s 36th birthday – with two episodes dropping each week. The same day, Disney+ will also debut The Eras Tour: The Final Show, a full concert film indeed shot at the final stop of the 149-date tour, at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, Canada, on December 8, 2024.

Eh bien, il n’aura pas fallu 28 ans, ni même 28 semaines : l’un des meilleurs films d’horreur de l’année débarque déjà sur une plateforme de streaming. 28 Ans plus tard, le retour du réalisateur Danny Boyle et du scénariste Alex Garland dans un monde ravagé par le tristement célèbre virus de la Rage, arrive sur Netflix en France ce samedi 20 septembre. Techniquement, c’est le troisième volet de la saga entamée en 2002 avec 28 Days Later, suivi en 2007 par 28 Weeks Later du réalisateur espagnol Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Mais ce nouvel épisode prend quelques libertés, allant jusqu’à effacer une partie des événements du précédent film. Situé près de trois décennies après l’apparition du virus – qui transforme les infectés en machines à tuer convulsives et ultra-rapides – le film dépeint des îles Britanniques mises en quarantaine du reste du monde, revenues à une forme de stabilité, certes primitive mais fonctionnelle. L’intrigue suit une famille en particulier : Aaron Taylor-Johnson incarne le patriarche, le jeune Alfie Williams son fils, et Jodie Comer la mère de ce dernier, rongée par une mystérieuse maladie. Ce qui commence comme une aventure initiatique de survie bascule, dans sa seconde moitié, en une méditation profondément émouvante sur l’acceptation de la mort comme partie intégrante de la vie. Porté par une bande-annonce déjà culte, 28 Ans plus tard est sorti en salles en juin et a cartonné au box-office, engrangeant 151 244 007 dollars dans le monde. Côté criti

Well, it didn’t take 28 years, or even weeks, but one of the year’s best horror films is already arriving on a streaming service. 28 Years Later, director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland’s return to a world ravaged by the so-called Rage virus, hits Netflix in the United States this coming weekend, on Saturday, September 20. It’s technically the third film in the series, which started with Boyle’s 28 Days Later in 2002 and was followed up in 2007 by 28 Weeks Later, from Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, although the newest movie does much to undo the events of the latter. Indeed set nearly three decades after the onset of the virus, which turns the infected into twitchy, fast-moving killing machines, the movie finds the British Isles quarantined from the rest of the world, having returned to a somewhat stable if primitive way of life. It focuses on one family in particular, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the patriarch, young Alfie Williams as his son, and Jodie Comer as the latter’s mother, who’s suffering from a mysterious illness. What starts as a coming-of-age survival adventure slows in the second half into a deeply emotional meditation on accepting death as a part of life.  Preceded by an all-time great trailer, 28 Years Later arrived in theaters in June and was a box office hit, pulling in $151,244,007 worldwide. It was also a critical favourite, with an 89 percent Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.  In a mixed review, Time Out praised the action-fi

Gentlemen, rev your Aston Martins and start shaking those martinis, because a new James Bond is on the horizon. Menthol smoke has not yet started billowing out of MGM Studios – the traditional indication that the next 007 has been chosen – with Daniel Craig’s likely replacement still a mystery. What does this mean for the future of the iconic British spy series and its upcoming 26th instalment? Information is limited, but here’s what we know so far.  What does Amazon MGM Studios’ takeover mean for the next James Bond? After months of rumour and speculation, James Bond finally got a new boss in February 2025. Not M, but Amazon MGM Studios who sealed a deal with 007’s producers, Eon’s Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson, to take creative control of the franchise.  Broccoli and Wilson will remain co-owners of James Bond but crucially, will step back from controlling the future direction or execution of the franchise. ‘With the conclusion of No Time to Die and Michael retiring from the films, I feel it is time to focus on my other projects,’ Broccoli said in a statement.So what does it all mean for 007? We’re probably a step closer to a release date for Bond 26 and the announcement of a new James Bond to star in it. Maybe a radical change of direction for the whole franchise, too, with immediate speculation that Amazon will look to spin their expensive new IP into the kind of shared universe storytelling that Disney pursued with Lucasfilm and Star Wars after its takeover. Is a
